    Best value when selling

    I have a D1 and D2, I would spend my money on the D2 all day long. Its such an improvement over the D1 even more so if its a cherished vehicle, my D2 has never been off road and never will be in my ownership its why I have a D1. If I had to keep one of them only it would be the D2 all day...

    Baby seat for a Disco 1

    What age group seat are you looking at? If its rockatot then I had to use the base as the seatbelt wasn't right in the Disco 1, I went from that to Britax one which was good for a few years but I did have the occasion where it was to close to the wheel arch and sat funny, I moved from that to...

    V8 fine on LPG but revving and stalling on Petrol

    Is it just a tick over problem on petrol or does it cut out if you swap it over when driving?

    Engine swap

    Don't bother just buy on with either already installed. If the K is looked after right then reality is its no more unreliable than any other engine.

    Range Rover P38 and Hi-Lift jacks.

    Use the High Lift jack as a winch. You could make something you could jack the Range Rover up

    Old Defender Radio, early nineties

    Take a photo of the existing wiring and blocks. It should have an ISO block in there it might be as easy to get an adapter to convert it to the ISO and run a CD player you already have.

    Gaylander 1 or Shogun Pinin or ?

    Can you get the newer Rav4 on your budget?

    Sympathetic mods to a D2 to make it more dual-purpose?

    I'd suggest a Range Rover TBF. Althou a Discovery 2 can do all of the above the full air suspension on the Range Rover will make it more of a motorway cruiser and at the flick of a switch play in the mud/ruts. With that I would go with discrete winch mount kit which you can do to the...

    Black bumper shine, I just love it!

    Poor Boys trim restorer worth every penny, none of the slimy crap of the Auto Gylm and no striping like the cheaper stuff.

    Changing tyres sizes.

    V8 mp£ mpg

    Mine drops to 14-15mpg when on LPG which am told is good. It normally returns 18 on petrol but with LPG at 70p/l it works out 28-30 mpg in turns of cost per mile, which is about the same as my Td5. If you give it some beans or take it off road don't expect to see double figures for very long.

    Steel or Alloy..

    I have 20" Stormer alloys on my Td5 Discovery as its a tarmac queen, I have Defender steels on my V8 Discovery as they came with good 750-16 tyres. Changing from alloys on the V8 to steels made a massive impact on looks but I like the look of it and was never really sold on the ES alloys it...

    New level of sadness: mudflaps

    Mine got in the way when I was going off road so there now in the garage am looking for some that were like the old series 3, big flappy ones with Land Rover print on but can be hooked up out the way when its play time.

    Red Pro Professional Tools

    I have an assortment, King Dick, Teng, Britool, Halfords, Bergen IMO the guarantee isn't worth the paper its printed on. If you use the tool correctly the right size for the job and all that then its unlikely you will break it. 72 tooth is a nice feeling ratchet but less IMO you can give more...

    Whats ur top speed?

    Its amazing what a difference changing tyres make, I went from standard 235/70/16 Scorpion A/T that would nigh on push three figures in the Disco V8 but swap them out for 750-16 DeeStone Extra Traction and getting to 60 takes some getting used to.

    1997 Land Rover Discovery V8i Silver - Manual - LPG & FSH - 96K -

    What did you have it up for? I had mine up for £1500 but got messed about something chronic so I thought sod it I will just mod it and abuse it instead.

    quick question

    Not enough its what I have on mine. You wont ever get the full 72L in there, from empty and cut out I can normally get around 45L in mine, which returns about 15mpg. So I would estimate based on mine you should see just under 150 miles.
